THE third instalment of Sia’s video trilogy with Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler has been released — and it’s just as bizarre as the first two.
The 12-year-old’s thrown on the blonde wig and flesh-coloured leotard again for Sia’s new song Big Girls Cry.
But unlike the last video for Elastic Heart — which co-starred Shia LaBeouf and drew criticism for its seemingly pedophilic undertones — Maddie appears in this clip alone.
Maddie performs straight to the camera against a black backdrop with only her face and shoulders in shot for most of the clip.
She shudders, shakes, pulls at her face and makes a series of bizarre facial expressions.
She also sticks her fingers in her mouth and slaps the side of her head.

It gets eerie when, at one point, a pair of hands with red fingernails reach around from behind and grab at her face.
Maddie’s then lifted into the air and struggles to get down.

The video was directed by Sia and Daniel Askill.
The pair also worked together on the first two videos starring Maddie — Chandelier and Elastic Heart.
The clip for Chandelier was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Music Video and became the seventh most watched video of last year on YouTube.
